Just for the academically inclined among us ?
a) The article was written by Sander van Vugt
b) Sander van Vlugt went to a University exactly TWENTY years ago...
c) He earns his bread money by running around and training people how to
implement LINUX

My point ?
He sounds like somebody that can also solve the Euro zone crisis .. and
the Arab Spring .. and maybe help the Republicans to get back the
popular vote in the USA too :

Hi,
Not sure this article was written by anybody that attended a university
in the last 20 years and I am extracting from the article :
Even if mainframes are a tough sell, it is clear that a comeback is in
the works. Large companies can even save money on IT infrastructure by
replacing hundreds of servers with one huge -- if expensive -- mainframe
computer.
Summary/Conclusion :
Have any of you look at or used anything from GOOGLE lately ex. GOOGLE
APPS ?
Google APPS are FREE for all educational institution and I just finished
an assignment for an Educational institution but the "old world" can not
compete with FREE.
Note: On the back of the last weeks Economist ? Oracle claims they can
give you TWICE the performance at 33% of the cost of an IBM true BLUE
solution.

One comment from the article:
"A mainframe is like one very large server that can do anything that
multiple servers in a rack are able to do. It's a virtualization
platform;
its hardware is highly redundant, so it replaces a cluster of servers.
And,
compared to all the x64 servers, it's not even that expensive," said the
data center architect.
Happy days
